Let’s face it: When the thought of shaving comes to mind, most men dread the daily activity like the plague. The concept of putting sharp metal to skin and scraping away just doesn’t seem natural. However, if you’re the type of guy who likes to look sharp on a regular basis, proper grooming is a must. So, with all of this commotion, what’s the key to keeping up your baby-face complexion? Finding the perfect razor that protects your skin while you morph yourself from man-beast to macho-man. Thankfully, Gillette helps you achieve this tedious task with Gillette Fusion.

With the billions of brands on shelves these days, it’s tough to choose the products that best suit your personal needs. Men’s grooming essentials are no different. Just walk into any local drug store and peruse the personal hygiene isle and you’ll find yourself scratching your head trying to make the right choice on which grooming gear to go with. Nailing down the right razor is a blessing, if you find the one that best suits your skin.

Gillette designed the five-bladed Fusion series to one-up the competition. With two choices available for your convenience, the regular Gillette Fusion and Gillette Fusion Power, you can rest easy knowing that you’ll get a superior shave each and every time, with little or no irritation. The Fusion series features a state-of-the-art five-blade shaving surface that actually keeps you comfortable during the tedious task, without even feeling the blades against your skin.

The innovative flexible comfort guards are designed to follow the contours of your face, guiding and gliding across your skin as you shave away the stubble. To top things off, Fusion also includes a precision trimmer blade to tackle those tricky spots that require a little more attention. If you’re into gadgets, Gillette’s fusion power blade is a battery-powered version that emits “micropulses” that apparently increase razor glide. Gimmick or not, that’s for you to decide.

As with most shaving blades, after a few sessions it's best to switch things up with a replacement cartridge (before realizing the blade just isn’t cutting it anymore -- literally). Gillette Fusion is no different. Some guys are more finicky when it comes to keeping their blades super sharp for a closer shave, whereas other guys tend to let things slide. If you’re the type of manly man who can pull off the five o’clock shadow, then your blade will last you a bit longer. If you’re hell-bent on keeping up your baby face features, keep some cash on the side for replacement blades. Bottom line, regardless of how often you put razor to face, Gillette Fusion is a great way to keep yourself well-groomed without the razor rash.
